yes u can its still a 18 inch tyre it will be slightly narrower the correct size would be 235/55R18 but it would still fit.
Yes, you can but it wears out your tires twice as fast so I would suggest using summers in summer and winters in winter. As long as you always use winters in winter, not summers or all seasons then it should be fine.
Let off the accelerator pedal, put the right signal switch on, maintain control as you move to the right side of the road, apply brakes gently as you slow down, come to a complete stop in the break down lane (right shoulder of the road), put it in park and turn on emergency flashers.
To remove rear wheel bearings, first jack the car up so that the rear wheels are off the ground. Then grip the rear tires at 6 and 12 o'clock, and push them in. Finally, remove the transmission tray, engine tray and the plastic cover from the suspension wishbone.
Best ways are if you can see exposed cable underneath the truck, go underneath and yank down on the cable as hard as you can. If the parking brake isn't needed or you just need to free the brake to move the truck and can go get it repaired if necessary, cut the cable back by the brake and the brake will release. Shouldnt cost more that 150 bucks to get a new e-brake installed.
I rotate mine every 3rd oil change which is aprox 9K miles.
Refer to owner's manual for exact guidelines, but most manufacturers recommend rotating tires roughly every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Again, see owner's manual for specifics.
yes
yes they do, i'm running 255/75/15 bf goodrich radial ta's on chevy rally rims on a 1993 conversion van,van is over 6.000 pounds,no problems at all
The wheels were probably overtorqued. Have the rotors turned and the wheels torqued correctly. The mechanic more than likely overtightened the lug nuts holding your wheels on. With all of the horror stories of people having their wheels come off while riding down the road, service garages and mechanics are probably being over cautious. If tight is good, then even tighter is better. Unfortunately, what happens is that they end up warping the brake rotors (the disks that your break pads pinch together on to make your car stop). The warped rotors then give you that pulsing effect when you brake. Newer cars have lighter weight rotors that are more susceptible to warping, and, if your rotors are old or have been turned on a lathe, they are narrower and weaker and can warp easier.
It's a really simple matter to get under the vehicle and try different wrenches on until you find the correct one. Many calipers are held on with a 7/16 bolt, but some are 3/8, some 10 mm and some are even allen or torx heads.
Not if no shake or bounce upon braking, grooves in rotor shorten pad life,if braking is smooth just pads wore out, put a fresh set on don`t look back Not if no shake or bounce upon braking, grooves in rotor shorten pad life,if braking is smooth just pads wore out, put a fresh set on don`t look back Not if no shake or bounce upon braking, grooves in rotor shorten pad life,if braking is smooth just pads wore out, put a fresh set on don`t look back
Depending on the car, some disc brakes are made of steel, aluminum or carbon fiber.
There's no way to answer this question; there are way too many variables. A harder-compound cruiser tire could last as long as 20K-25K, while a soft compound sportbike tire could last as little as 2000 miles. The type of tire, the compound out of which it is manufactured, the power of the motorcycle on which it is mounted, and the way the rider rides all figure into this equation, as well as many other factors.
Start the car, place you foot on the brake and push and hold it. If the brake pedal very slowly sinks toward the floor, the master cylinder is bad. Of course a leak at the master cylinder means it is bad. Don't ignore any of these 2 symptoms as it can stop working at any moment, and leave you with no brakes. When looking at the master cylinder look at the wall or booster that the master is bolted to. If u see sweating, or paint pielling at the mating the master is leaking from the seals.
NO, you would want to go with a 225/70-17 to equal a 235/65-17 A 265/70-17 is equal to a 275/65-17 and are way too big for this car. My advice is stick with the exact same size tires that came on the car.
There is no date. Expiration depends on wear. However, you may find the production date on a tire. Look for the DOT numbers on what would be the inside of the tire. Example, DOT 02112 would be the 21st week of 2012 that tire was produced.
The ABS (antilock brake system) light is on because there is a problem with the ABS system. Until that problem is fixed, the light will remain on and the ABS system will not be functioning. You will still have regular brakes but without the ABS function. Take it to a qualified mechanic for repair.
The Kenda Tire company is headquartered in Taiwan and makes tires in Taiwan, China and Vietnam. -I know they make great bicycle tires - some of the best ! -I have no information good or bad about their auto and specialty tires.
First,consider the dimensions of the wheelwell,plus the 'offset' and diameter of the rims which are to be installed. This determines which size tires are feasible to mount to the rims. 'Plus-sizing' can be tricky,so do some research before busting your butt finding out what works. Sorry I couldn't be a little more specific,it just kinda depends on what can fit. Lift kits increase the size 'big time',but you mentioned that the vehicle is stock. Inquire at tire service or speed shops as well. Good Luck!
Several things to watch for. Your brakes will sometimes start to stutter or pulse as you apply them. Occasionally you will hear a noise like a grinding or a squeal. With any luck, it'll be the pads wearing out before the rotors get damaged, but that''s not the way things usually happen. People have a tendency to let things go until more work is involved. If addressed soon enough, most rotors can be turned and used again, If left too long without attention, you will need to replace the pads, the rotors, and sometimes even the calipers, so...best to take care of things as soon as you can.
Should be listed on the drivers door post and in the owners manual. The correct size is 225/75-15
In a tire with metric sizing, on an example of 120/70ZR17:
120=tire width in millimeters
70=aspect ratio
Z=speed rating
R=construction type
17=rim diameter in inches
In a tire with alpha numeric sizing, on an example of MT90H16:
M=motorcycle use
T=tire width code
90=aspect ratio
H=speed rating
16=rim diameter
A disc brake is the most common front car brake, and is now often seen on the back too. The system consists of a rotor, a thick, smooth steel disc fixed to the hub and rotating with the wheel. At one side of this rotor is a caliper fitting around part of it and fixed to the knuckle (hub mounting). This caliper contains a hydraulic piston (often two) and two disc pads. These are steel pads faced with about 3/8 inch of friction material. these friction material sides rub on the rotor. When hydraulic pressure is applied via the brake pedal, this forces brake fluid to move the piston out, squeezing the pads, causing them to grip the rotor which then slows down or stops. This is obviously a very simplified description. -Modern systems have all kinds of improvements and innovations.
The ABS light is on because the ABS module detects something is wrong with the system. It will remain on until it is fixed. As long as the light is on the ABS system will not function if needed. Take it to a trusted garage for diagnoses.
